YMCA East London and YMCA London South West have recently merged and are now one organisation with a growing presence across South, South West and East London. YMCA London South West is part of the affiliated YMCA Christian Movement, offering opportunities to young people and their communities to develop in mind, body and spirit and so help to fulfil their potential.

Reporting to the Strategic Lead for Organisational Development, the post holder will also be responsible for supporting the Area Managers and Area Directors to design and implement effective learning and development strategies to improve the skills of staff and managers in delivering the local business objectives. As such, the post holder will develop a close and harmonious working relationship with all Area Directors and Area Managers.
The successful candidate will be degree level educated, with the highest level of skill and attention to detail in producing quality written English training programmes, and ideally hold a professional training qualification from a recognised provider.
